Kidney beans are a healthy inclusion to the home garden. They have antioxidant properties, folic acid, vitamin B6 and magnesium, not to mention they are a rich source of cholesterol lowering fiber. One cup of kidney beans provides 45 percent of the recommended daily intake for fiber! High in protein, kidney beans and other beans are a vegetarian’s mainstay. They are also a good choice for folks with diabetes, hypoglycemia or insulin resistance because this rich fiber content keeps sugar levels from rising too rapidly. With all that goodness, the only question is how to grow kidney beans.

Growing
Its really not difficult to grow Goji Berry Plants from seeds, but a bit of planning will defiantly help improve your end results. Start the seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks prior to the last frost date in your area.
Plant about 1/4 inch deep, in your planting medium; peat pots, flats, small pots with sterile seed starting material all work fine
Water lightly and keep consistently moist until germination occurs. If the seeds dry out, they will die. If you use pots you can cover them with a plastic bag to help maintain the soil moisture but be sure to remove once plants appear.
Full light and cooler temperatures (60 to 70°F) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. After the seeds have germinated, place them in a location that receives a lot of light.
Transplant into garden when seedlings have 2nd true leaves and ensure no frosts.
Unique among fruits because they contain all essential amino acids, goji berries also have the highest concentration of protein of any fruit. They are also loaded with vitamin C, contain more carotenoids than any other food, have twenty-one trace minerals, and are high in fiber. Boasting 15 times the amount of iron found in spinach, as well as calcium, zinc, selenium and many other important trace minerals, there is no doubt that the humble goji berry is a nutritional powerhouse.

Young corn shoots are highly susceptible to frost damage, so plant seeds after all danger of frost has passed. Select a sunny spot that's protected from the wind. Since corn likes lots of nitrogen, it does well where a legume, such as beans or peas, were grown the previous year. Seeds germinate best after the soil has warmed to at least 60°F. Plant kernels ½" deep in spring; during the heat of summer, plant seeds 2" deep. Germination occurs in three to 12 days
Keep well water and free from weeds feed regularily to encourage bigger corn cobs

strawberry-like fruits which some say resemble mulberries. Will reseed

WATERCRESS
Watercress has risen to a starring role in elaborate culinary
preparations and is as beneficial for the health as much as the palate.
It may be used as a garnish, in salads and sandwiches, added to herb butters,
dressings, casseroles, soups and sauces for fish, and are also made into
refreshing and nourishing teas.
Watercress leaves have a lovely mustardy bite that makes them natural
bedfellows to strongly flavoured meats such as game. The leaves are most
commonly served raw as a garnish to eggs or meat, or as part of a salad
with orange segments. Watercress also makes a pleasingly peppery soup
that is as good hot as it is chilled.
Although usually grown commercially in water, watercress can be grown
in the garden soil provided it is given plenty of water and will crop
from early summer till around Christmas if protected with cloches during
cold spells.
You can also grow it in a container stood in a saucer of water. Plant
3 to 4 plants to a 30cm (12in) tub or pot and stand in a container with
about 2 to 3in of water, in the shade. Keep the water constantly topped
up to this level. The important thing to remember is to ensure the soil
remains soaked at all times and to changing the water for fresh each day
to avoid fungal infections.
